Toy Unboxing/Review - Antoc Merrick's X-Wing and Droid Review (and Rant)
I promised this video in my last one, so I had to do it. I know I shouldn't do this, but I'm gonna anyway: I'm apologizing for the terrible camera. I'm working on replacing it. Hopefully the message has enough value to you to offset the annoyance.

Toy Unboxing/Review - Not the Droids ... "Hey, What 'Chu Tryin' to Pull?"
This video was a long time coming, but I finally got it finished. As a peek behind the curtain, my impetus to get it finished up was that it provides context to some things I’ll be talking about in an upcoming video discussing Antoc Merrick’s X-Wing and his droid, R2-SHW.

Friday Night Last Call - Hangout and Drinks with GeekTalk - Brandon G
He describes himself as a "normal dude trying the best he can to do his part." Well, sounds like my kind of guy, and I think yours, too. We'll find out as we sit and have a few drinks with Brandon G of Geek Talk. He's a streaming gamer who's fun to watch and I think he and Aged Boomer will have a lot of common ground. But he's also working the geek commentary, too, so we should have a lot to talk about. Canarble Wagon rolls at 9 PM Central!

Friday Night Last Call - Hangout and Drinks with Matthew Flynn the Gladiator of Kaon
I feel like this whole YouTube thing, and Last Call specifically, has really become more social than the term "Social Media" has come to convey. Netter says "You're not just guests; you're family," and by that analogy, that would make Matthew Flynn my little brother (okay, I'm probably old enough to be his father, but I don't want to think about that!) He's got channel (link below) - The Gladiator of Kaon - and Netter and I have guested a number of times over there (you'll find those appearances in my "Guest Appearances" playlist) and he introduced us to Ben 10 and other areas off fandom we'd missed out on. It will be nice to introduce you to the man behind the screen-name you've seen in the chat, so make him feel welcome!
The Canarble Wagon rolls at 9 PM CDT.

Friday Night Last Call - Hangout and Drinks with Brandon the Anime Guy
If there’s one thing this channel is known for, it’s … well, it’s NOT anime. Nonetheless, I’ve been wanting to do a collab with Brandon for some time now. I mean, despite the name of his channel, he does a lot more than just anime, and besides, Aged Boomer is an anime fan, so they should get on just fine. And, like I said, there’s a whole world of pop culture to discuss, so grab a drink and strap in! The Canarble Wagon rolls at 9 PM CDT.

Bryce Dallas Howard Says She Was Pressured to Lose Weight
This is old - doesn't really qualify as "news" anymore - because I kind of dragged my heels on it (It's hard to run in heels, I hear). But this comment from Bryce Dallas Howard about being pressured to lose weight really got me thinking about all the other actors who have undergone some really serious physical transformations for rolls. There are way more than I covered here, it's not just men gaining and losing weight, either. Yes, I'm being snarky. Someone who makes $8 million dollars, complains that this is $2 million less than her co-star, and then also complains about feeling "pressured to lose weight" for the role kind of has some snark coming, IMO. But don't let that stop you from going full troll in the comments. I invite the engagement.

Friday Night Last Call - Hangout and Drinks with Arwyn Avalon
She's Sassy Southern belle and a "Boujie Boozer" which, I think, makes her SO on brand for Last Call! I've really wanted to get her on the channel for a long time, but had to work up the never. Then, during my stream with @Justice FATS Seagal, my buddy Jack (Daniels) gave me the courage to ask her and, here we are! We're gonna talk about some of my favorite topics: Booze, relationships, men and women, fandom, booze, YouTube and booze. So pour yourself a glass - it doesn't necessary have to be booze - and remember, there are ladies present, so be on your best behavior. Canarble Wagon rolls at 9 PM CDT.

Friday Night Last Call - We Grow Together Panel
YouTubeing is hard. Really; if you've never done it, I know it looks like it's just as simple as flipping on the camera and broadcasting yourself talking or ranting or gaming, or whatever else you would be doing anyway, but there is SO much more to it than that. No, this isn't going to be rant secession ... well, maybe a little ... but really it's a great peak behind the curtain and you might be fascinated by what you learn. My panel will be a handful of my favorite YT channels that I credit with whatever success I have garnered thus far. A couple are so big and famous, they may not have the time to commit, so I I didn't list them in the thumbnail - maybe they show, maybe they don't. You never know. Better tune in to find out.

Friday Night Last Call - Custom Toy Talk with Andy Masterson's Laboratory of Mayhem
For serious toy enthusiasts, the commercial companies will likely never make the exact thing you are looking for. Maybe the character you want most is too obscure or doesn't have enough mass appeal to make it commercially viable. Maybe there's a license issue. Maybe you just want to create a diorama of people you know! Well this is what both Andy Masterson and I have addressed ourselves, creating our own action figures. We're gonna talk toys, and whatever else comes up (You know how Last Call is!) Canable Wagon rolls at 9PM CST to kick off the weekend!

Friday Night Last Call - Hangout and Drinks with The Noob Reviews
She describers herself as a: "Model, Artist, Pianist, teacher, and sustainable living enthusiast." Some of us need way less sustaining than others, let me tell you. But that aside, she's is also a new (thus the "noob") YouTuber and I just gotta say, I like the cut of her jib. Just the little bit we've interacted tells me that, for all our differences, she and I have a lot in common. If you like my channel ... well, first, what's wrong with you? ... And second, you'll like hers way more.
